WHEN EXACTLY WILL IT COME?
Joseph Fernandez Jun 2018
In the day those without faith think least,
That’s the day he will put in motion the prophesied wild beast.

Peace and security will come but not at their actual hands,
It’s the kings from the rising of the sun that bring about those final commands...

When the general thinking is the sky today looks clearly blue...
This is when he will make crystal clear what he intends to do...

Crashing down, the infamous harlot will completely burn,
Yes, this is what his righteous family does wholeheartedly yearn!

From mid-heaven down to the earth no place will be found...
Nowhere to hide from his judgement voice that the WORD will ultimately sound...

At the end of this day all wickedness will cease to a halt,
So (now) is the time best to practice being found without any fault...

No time will there be to rewind those fixable mistakes we continued to put off,
The hour is now to accept responsibility in one unhesitant quaff...

Thereafter, LIFE for those found clean and bright...
He guarantees them no enemy will be a match for his holy spirits might!

It is written that no one but he knows the actual day and hour,
Except perhaps his son to whom he has given all authority and power...

When exactly will it come, this we do not know?
But to those hearing with their heart, he now lifesaving truth does bestow...


J.I.F.

Revelation 16:12
The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great river Eu·phraʹtes, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun.

Matthew 24:21
for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

THUNDER
Joseph Fernandez May 2018
Crack Crash Boom!
Was that for me specifically, probably not...
However my nerves are trembling also ******* in a knot...

It’s that sound that we automatically relate to Gods disapproval and his desire that we do better,
The sound that instantly reminds us that we are everyones debtor...

Once it subsides we feel some relief,
But we do ponder our actions and how they pair with our belief...

We know that love is the motive for everything he does,
Yet the fear that it evokes is nothing less than a reverential buzz...

Thunder that booming sound that comes from the sky’s above,
For although we may not think it at first,
it is truly Gods wonderful voice of love.

J.I.F.


JOB 37:5

God thunders with his voice in a wonderful way; He does great things that are beyond our understanding.
Joseph Fernandez May 2018
Bad is good and good is bad...
Some things that start out happy do also become incredibly sad...

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is present,
Does it mean a life that is invisibly distraught somehow will become very pleasant?

If everyone in a room agrees with what the outcome should be,
Is love then shown more abundant and naturally?

Just because something hurtful is clearly visible to the naked emotion,
Does it mean you are anything more than a teardrop in a vast ocean?

Many riddles in life are puzzling though the answers are always inwardly perfect and clear...
If the only choice is obvious shouldn’t our hand continue going up to the auctioneer?

Loved life so much that I had to die,
Ready to go my way now captain,
aye aye...


J.I.F.


JOB 7:13-16

13 When I say, ‘My couch will comfort me; My bed will help ease my misery,’  14 Then you terrify me with dreams And frighten me with visions, 15 So that I would choose suffocation, Yes, death rather than this body of mine.  16 I loathe my life; I do not want to go on living. Leave me alone, for my days are like a breath.

COLLISION COURSE WITH LIFE
Joseph Fernandez Apr 2018
It happened in an instant as quick as a blink,
There I was minding my own business then all of a sudden I started to sink...

All things around me we’re crashing about,
It was too horrifying a sight so I started to
pass out...

Was it a dream of sorts or was it reality,
Or was it some kind of heightened realm involving my spirituality...?

I tossed I turned as the walls around me started to burn,
This was a place to which I’d never want to return!

Turbulent tribulation everyday all around,
My entire existence has finally run aground!

Did it all start at my life’s inception,
Or was it all someone’s sadistic deception?

Crash we all will it’s as inevitable as it is rife,
A collision course is on its way, a collision corse with life.


J.I.F.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

11 I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.

A TRUE FRIEND
Joseph Fernandez Apr 2018
Who really is a true friend?
It’s someone that comes to your aid when the chips of life are down and does defend...

They will not allow any negative talk that destroys your worth, But will speak out words of wisdom that will give your character clarity and new birth...

Are there really such friends on this treacherous earth,
individuals that exist with such genuine purity of heart?
Ones with loyalty
that is off the standard friend chart?

There perhaps are only a few,
The one I know is you...


Proverbs 17:17
17 A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of (distress.)

FLY
Joseph Fernandez Feb 2018
FLY
FLY


Drifting through my dream,
Constantly colliding
with uncertainty as my theme...

This time higher than it seems,
Fighting the concept
of reality as a means...

Sticking around, I'll never be found...
So off into the blue, where I can find what is at most obscurely true...

I'm lost in the sky,
though I can't remember why,
Perhaps life is just easier
when I fly...

CONSEQUENCE OF BEING
Joseph Fernandez Jan 2017
Born without notice we function with limited ability,
Happenstance rules our otherwise deeply desired accomplished agility...

We stumble we fall we try to balance the awkwardness within our off-kilter equilibrium,
Trying always our best not to become just another unsuccessful idiom...

Saved we can be through our faith in the merciful kindness of one,
Though we will continue to fumble our brief minutes of life till all things offensive are undone...

Consequence of being it's what we have all been given,
Continuing on to the day we are completely forgiven...

"INVISIBLE THINGS"
Joseph Fernandez Jan 2017
Things in-between sometimes lost,
Things not recognized at great cost...

Things that compel,
Things that make us swell,
Things at times we fail to tell...

Things we know,
Things that flow,
things we do not show…

Things we wish we could control,
An unrealized future an aspiring goal...

Sometimes very real things are things Unseen,
Without tangibility on any physical scale or scene...

Nonetheless they still Impress,
Realities beyond what we all may possess...

However without these " Invisible things" would we really exist?
Kid yourself not, please try not To insist…


J.I.F.

— The End —
